Yesterday was dull and wet, but Spring was springing up all over the lane as I did my run. Furry buds were everywhere. Dandylions herd their sunny faces up in the rain. Lambs gambolled, but obviously not for this photographer! Quick Mum, feed me and hide me from the nasty lady. The gorse bushes are…

The two troublemakers at rest. Yesterday dawned bright, sunny and windy. Decided to strip the beds and get some washing done. First load from my room is fine, all washed in a trice and hanging on the line. Ah the joy of fresh laundry blowing in the breeze……….. Stripped Idgy's bed and loaded the machine….

Bet you thought l had gone a.w.o.l. yesterday, oh no, dear reader, my normal blogging time of 7.30am found me scampering about outside in the pjs picking daffodils for Idgy's daffodil ceilidh at school.
